to a government guaranteed loan where the bank really doesn't take any risk the risk gets pushed to washington so right there you can sense that the banks are not taking a lot of the risk they don't want to take risk and that means that there's a very large percentage of the total population out there they're really candy the refinance or existing mortgage or get a new mortgage on a new home purchase in some states california the southwest some parts of the southeast the markets are doing pretty well but here in the northeast basically from new york on up into new england we still have a huge problem because these are all states where you need a judge to bang the gavel in or do a foreclosure so if the recovery in real estate is very. very regional and i think by the end of the year we were january february timeframe we'll probably see the case shiller home index numbers going down again and that because right and that's what educators people are looking to saying housing is improving before we get into housing i do want to just finish up on this three this discussion because we got away from i

government because this happened after there is a meeting in washington. that they are embarking on a plan to wipe out all resistance to u.s. policy in the region and let's talk about why this is happening i mean we know the palestine has been for statehood november twenty ninth i think it is what what does this have to do with the offensive that we're seeing me well over twenty nine palestine solidarity day and on that day palestine is going to be bringing to the u.n. general assembly their bid for statehood which would really mean i mean that the big important thing about that is if they are granted statehood then the international criminal court has to see in this international court the allegations of war crimes and illegal settlements by the state of israel so israeli and u.s. officials tried very very hard to pressure the palestinian authority into not introducing this statehood bid and actually said if you do this we're going to punish you for it and so we're just weeks away from that statehood bed and so it's very likely that this is that punishmen
